Weißer Pulli mit Blütenmuster – Crochet Sweater Pattern in Schachenmayr Merino Extrafine Cotton 120

This downloadable PDF crochet pattern from Schachenmayr guides you through creating a beautiful white pullover sweater with a floral motif, worked in the brand's signature Merino Extrafine Cotton 120 yarn. The pattern is available in two sizes — 36–38 and 40–42 — and is offered completely free of charge as a digital download. The finished garment features an elegant all-over blossom (Blüten) pattern that gives it a delicate, feminine character, making it a versatile piece suitable for layering or wearing on its own.

What Is Being Made

The project is a crocheted pullover sweater (Pulli) worked in white yarn with an integrated floral repeat pattern. The sweater is constructed in separate flat pieces — a back panel (Rückenteil) and a front panel (Vorderteil) — which are later joined. The design includes integrated sleeves that are shaped directly from the body panels, as well as a shaped neckline (Halsausschnitt) on the front piece. The result is a lightweight, warm-weather-friendly top with refined textural detail.

Construction and Shaping Details

• Back panel: Begins with a foundation chain of 139 (153) chain stitches, with the first treble crochet (Stäbchen) worked into the 5th (9th) chain from the hook, resulting in 136 (148) working stitches.
• For size 36–38, the pattern repeat (Rapport) is worked 5 times, with additional stitches before and after the repeat to balance the design.
• For size 40–42, the pattern repeat is worked 6 times, with 2 stitches before and after the repeat; note that in row 8, the blossom motifs at the beginning and end of the row are intentionally omitted to maintain symmetry.
• Sleeve shaping begins after 28 cm (26 cm for size 40–42), with increases worked on both sides — twice 15 stitches and twice 12 stitches (or four times 12 stitches) — bringing the total stitch count to 244 stitches.
• The back panel is completed after a total length of 48 cm (54 rows).
• Front panel: Worked identically to the back panel up to a height of 33 cm, at which point the centre 44 stitches are left unworked to form the neckline opening.
• Both shoulder sections are then worked separately, with neckline shaping achieved by decreasing twice 3 stitches (equivalent to twice 1 filet square / Filetkaro) every second row along the inner edge.
• The remaining 94 stitches on each side are crocheted to a total length of 48 cm (55 rows) to match the back panel.

Techniques Used

• Flat crochet construction — each piece is worked back and forth in rows rather than in the round
• Pattern repeat (Rapport) working — the floral motif is structured as a repeating chart-based sequence, read from a Häkelschrift (crochet chart/symbol diagram)
• Filet crochet elements — the neckline shaping references Filetkaro (filet squares), suggesting the blossom pattern is built on a filet-style grid of open and closed mesh
• Integrated sleeve shaping — sleeves are formed by working increases directly into the body rows rather than being sewn on separately
• Neckline shaping with decreases — symmetrical decreases on both sides of the divided front create a smooth, angled neckline
• Foundation chain cast-on
